I believe the question was "Concurrent Filing is possible with LC Substitution or not ?"
The Answer is YES IT IS POSSIBLE ... & the current retrogression is ONLY applicable to EB-3 & that also for people born in CH, IN or PH.. Bottomline is if you are eligible to file I-485 then you are eligible for Concurrent Filing

03/07/2005: Backlog Processing Center Processing Update
According to the AILA, the status of current processing of backlog cases at the Dallas and Philadelphia Backlog Processing Centers is as follows:
Total number of cases received from the state offices: Over 180,000.
Total number of cases completed data-entry: Approximately 86,000. Plans to complete the data-entry for all cases by the end of summer 2005. After data entry is completed on all cases, the workers would move over to processing.
Total 45-day letters issued: Over 40,000. Timeframe for review of cases by contractors: Contractors are currently being trained. Once data entry is completed on all cases, they would move over to processing of applications. Processing standards: They will apply the standards of each Region rather than national uniform standards. Therefore, the variance in recruitment requirement and other standards among the previous 6 Regions will be preserved.
FIFO rule: Uniform national queue regardless of the occupations.
It appears that people needs a patience.
(If this is true and processessing starts only after Data entry of all Cases, the First Approvals are only after Aug 2005). BEC may stand for BCC (Backlog Creation Center)

There is no difference between RIR or Regular ... Just FIFO ...
Will PERM be faster ? Since it is going to start to accept applications .

Hi,
Looking at this info,looks like it's going to be very long before we see some action from BCC.I have one query:
Is it possible to check w/DOL as to whether or not the RIR LC efforts are identical to the PERM processing.If they say "Yes", then go ahead and file for PERM else wait for BCC to retain priority date.The reason I am asking is that our company did efforts reqd by PERM when they did my RIR LC application but I am concerned that if I try to convert to PERM,and if they don't find it to be indentical,then I may end up loosing my priority date unless there is a way to check whether or not it's identical and you still have the option of not filing for PERM if they don't find it identical...
Appreciate your views.

Towards the end of LC journey and transfer to another state. What my choices?
GP111 and Fellow LC applicants,
Thank you all for leading me know where my case is and know what is going on with DOL. Be a silent reader for a while and my first post, please help.
My case is pending in SF DOL , not in BEC and will be finalize by the end of this year(DOL will shut down by that). Late last year, I was relocated to my company HQ in Texas. Since LC application is location and position specific, I expressed my concern to my company and my manager and I reached agreement on transfer me back to Cal region in 3 year. I was told that I don't need to tell DOL about this and everything is as normal.
Now, my application will end soon and I am worry about how to file i140 and i485. I am EB-2 and I will file concurrently.
My questions are:
1. Should I file in Cal or texas service center? I recall I read a article saying that I need to file in Cal and transfer to Texas, is that true and in which stage i can transfter my application?
2. My address and W-2 information are all in Texas, will this be a problem for Cal service cneter if I file over there.
3. What else I need to pay particular attention to for my situation?
Please share your thoughts on this and I apprecate your suggestions and input.
thanks very much!
Mahi

Thanks

Posted on AILA InfoNet at Doc. No. 05030769
UPDATE ON DOL BACKLOG REDUCTION EFFORTS
March 3, 2005
1. How many Applications have been shipped from the SWAs to the BRCs?
Slightly over 180,000.
2. How many applications have had data input into the new database systems?
Approximately 86,000.
3. How many 45 day letters have gone out?
Over 40,000.
4. How many abandonment or withdrawals have been logged?
Almost 300 withdrawals through February 2005.
5. How many new applications have been received by the SWAs since December 2004? Has there been a significant increase in new Applications in the lead-up to PERM? If so, how is it measured?
Information not tracked by USDOL.
6. What is the number of hired/trained contractor personnel at each BRC site?
Approximately 100 at each and they are looking at supplementing as DOL-ETA is making funds available. See Item 12.
7. Will Atlanta/Chicago continue to process traditional cases after March 28, 2005?
They will keep some temporary work only. They are in the process of shipping all other cases to BRCs. There are approximately 10,000 in total.
8. Have contractors begun to review cases for substantive compliance with DOL guidelines? If not, when is this expected to happen?
Yes and DOL is training now.
9. Do you continue to believe that the backlog reduction process can be complete in two years? If not, what is the current projection?
Current projection is 24 to 30 months, if DOL has adequate resources.
10. Will the same workers at the Centers be trained on both RIR and non-RIR cases?
They expect to cross-train initially since they do not know what kind of cases are in the boxes.
11. When do they expect to complete initial data entry on all cases?
The goal at this time is to finish data entry on all cases by the end of summer 2005. Additional resources are being made available by DOL for the initial data entry. After data entry is completed on all cases, the workers would move over to processing.
12. How long will satellite offices (New York, Boston and San Francisco) continue to process cases?
These offices will process the cases they have until January 2006.
13. Will there be an on-line system available to check the status of cases?
DOL is working on getting information on their website about which cases have shipped. They are also working on an e-mail capability to enable a party to find out whether a case is located at the BRC. The contractor staff would answer the e-mails.
14. Do they expect to deviate from FIFO based on certain occupations?
No.
15. Regarding standards to be applied to RIR filings, will they apply one national standard?
No, they plan to try to apply the standard used in the region where the case was filed.
